The lanes of Tianzifang (Lane 210, Taikang Road), located in southwest Luwan District near Xujiahui Road and the North-South Elevated Highway, are chockablock with shikumen (stone-gate) houses built in the 1920s and warehouses and factories from the 1940s. The area's first act of transformation began in 1999 when the late world-renowned painter Chen Yifei and several other artists and fashion designers set up studios in the old factory workshops. Chen named his studio Tianzifang. In ensuing years it has also attracted small galleries and shops selling antiques and handicrafts, and has been likened by some to a miniature "New York Soho".
But development stopped a few years later after the district announced plans to tear down the old flats and warehouses to create space for commercial real estate development. After surmounting the 2004 crisis, Tianzifang seems well on its way to achieving aesthetic and commercial success but its floor area of over 20,000 square meters was almost fully occupied. Creative Park gradually expanded to neighboring lanes. The main challenge now, however, is preventing the renaissance from destroying the community's chief charm: its eclectic mix of struggling artists and small businesses surrounded by the ebb and flow of a living community.
